It did the job.
Former Tenant
Pros:
Close to all amenities, owner was extremely friendly and kind.
Cons:
Cockroaches and mice!!! Had a lot of issues with my smoke detector.. went through a few of them because they kept going off in the middle of the night for no reason (the reset & off wouldn't work on them.. luckily maintenance was fairly quick to deal with them when it happened.
Advice to owner:
